I think this is so amazing. It’s got the real feel of a strong fire and you can almost hear the fire crackling.
If I printed out an A4 would the fireman be the right size to trace in?
You did well because you seemed very tired. Thank you both.
Love Jacqui
I was a dispatcher for the fire department for 28 years, married to a firefighter, and have many firefighter friends who would LOVE this painting. Challenge accepted!
This painting really conveys a lot. I was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years. Two In. Two Out. We all go home. A motto that’s always strived for but not always the way. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece.
